Cropping Comics - Lemmy.World

Kinda curious about this; what’s the deal with folks cutting off the artist’s name and site? I read the “ads” argument in the comments, but I don’t buy it as attribution isn’t an advert. So what’s it actually all about?

It stems from here. slrpnk.net/post/35980172
[META] Fuck ads: I recommend adding a rule to ban watermarked comics here - SLRPNK

Relevant Post [https://lemmy.world/post/44948340]. We(Lemmy users) are adblock users and are tired of capitalism that ruined Reddit. All of us didn’t come here to look at ads again or to entertain capitalist dreams of embedding ads everywhere. My recommendation is clear, let’s ban watermarked comics and work towards ad free community. At the end, music don’t have watermarks and neither do art. So why should comics have watermarks? Linking to the source should be the primary way of attribution.

Dear gods… Is that user deluded?
Beep? Massive pos. Regularly shits up yepowertrippingbastards complaining about mods modding them for being a shithead
